Pasyalan is a noun which means "park," and is a derivation from another
Filipino word, pasyal, which means "to go somewhere." To the Filipino,
going somewhere is always an adventure, a break from the hectic life in the
city. Whenever the word is invoked, all the work is forgotten and images of
beaches, forests, and lately, the malls are conjured. For the Filipino,
anywhere except the office, is a vast park.

With the more than 7,000 islands, it is no wonder that the Philippines looks to the sea for its life, its beauty and most especially, for its leisure. The beach is the best place to lie down, relax, just have fun. Palm-rimmed
white-sand beaches are found in the length and breadth of the country, with the sea changing from emerald green to azure to sapphire blue as the water deepens.
